Does not look all that windy. The guy's jacket is not flapping around. Nor is whatever is hanging in his mouth. Sounds windy, yes.
Aug 10, 2013 at 4:00 pm #2014223Well since no body mentions their estimates of wind speed and no instruments are being used to measure it…
I've seen blowing ice crystals do that at >20mph wind. Which I don't consider windy. But if you say so, OK.
And thanks for the insight to your personality.
Aug 10, 2013 at 8:34 pm #2014286Now that is the kind of wind I modded my Scarp 2 to handle.
We'll see if it is still as good as I think it is this winter at 9,000 ft. on a mountain plateau. It's almost always quite windy up there on Mt. Charleston's North Loop trail.

I was willing to give it 30 mph. Windy, but not all that bad.Cheers

What does the Caffin Wind Scale look like?

Aug 11, 2013 at 10:06 am #2014371Due to the last few years worth of concerns over declining quality of the Stephenson tents, I'd take a Hilleberg if I were expecting full on exposed stormy madness. I really want an Unna. My wife does not share my enthusiasm.
This video does give some measurements, plus it is just kind of fun to watch.
